			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">The <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">respectable</span> German newssite <a title="Spiegel Online" href="http://wwww.spiegel.de/">Spiegel Online</a> just published an article featuring a Lower-Saxon social-democrat polititician who pushes to annul the <a title="HITLERS EINBÜRGERUNG" href="http://www.spiegel.de/panorama/zeitgeschichte/0,1518,470844,00.html" target="_blank">naturalization of Austrian born Adolf Hitler</a>. Because she&#8217;s struggeling with her town&#8217;s connection to the Nazi-leader (1932 Hitler became German cititzen in Brunswick, Lower-Saxony, after giving up his Austrian nationality in 1925),  she wants the state to decline Hilter&#8217;s request belated.</p>
<p align="justify">Okay, seriously now, what would that change? Hitler is the personification of evil and an important part of the German collective memory, whether we like it or not. I honestly cannot believe that an actual annulment would change anything in the world&#8217;s perception towards Germany. And why would it?</p>
<p align="justify">Anyhow, unfortunately for her the current German consititution prohibits every annulment which results in &#8216;statelessnes&#8217;. Moreover lawyers say that her efforts are senseless: &#8220;dead is dead&#8221;. The whole issue is now cross checked in the state&#8217;s ministries. Let&#8217;s see how this goes on.</p>
